The convenience of being able to access these services from anywhere and at any time has made them increasingly popular among Croatian consumers. One of the key trends in the eServices market in Croatia is the rapid growth of e-commerce. With the increasing availability of high-speed internet and the growing trust in online transactions, more and more Croatians are choosing to shop online. This trend has been further accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has forced many people to rely on online shopping for their everyday needs. As a result, e-commerce platforms in Croatia have experienced a surge in demand, with both local and international players entering the market to cater to this growing customer base. Another trend in the eServices market in Croatia is the increasing adoption of digital payment solutions.
